The Awareness Group Secures $10 Million Equity Commitment from ClearThink Capital Partners

By: Newsfile

Scottsdale, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - February 3, 2025) - The Awareness Group (OTC Pink: FHLD) (TAG) (trading as Freedom Holdings, $FHLD, an emerging national leader in solar energy services and financing solutions and creator of the TAG GRID, today announced a strategic equity commitment of up to $10 million over 24 months from ClearThink Capital Partners via an equity line of credit. This partnership marks a significant milestone in TAG's ongoing mission to deliver innovative solutions across its diverse portfolio of services. TAG expects to file an S-1 in the near future.

Pablo Diaz, CEO and Founder of The Awareness Group Commented:

"This $10 million commitment underscores ClearThink Capital's confidence in TAG's vision and potential. When we are able to access this capital, it will provide additional growth capital for our organic growth strategy, and is at our control and discretion in regards to the amounts and timing.

"While we are early in the process of ramping our business, the initial evidence has been extremely positive that we're on the right track…and we're just getting started. Last week's announcement of the REPM acquisition will kickstart our commercial solar strategy, and we expect to announce several new innovative commercial and residential products in the weeks and months to come. Other milestones to look for include our application to FINRA for a name and ticker change, our application to OTC Markets for an uplist to the OTCQB, and our first earnings report that shows TAG's business as a public company. We're excited for the year ahead and hope to demonstrate the power of the TAG GRID in creating shareholder value."

Once the registration statement is filed and declared effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission, TAG has the right, in its sole discretion, to sell up to $10 million worth of shares over a 24-month period. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales to the investor and the investor is obligated to make purchases in accordance with the Agreements. There are no upper limits to the price per share the investor may pay to purchase common stock and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the then prevailing market prices of the Company's shares at the time of each sale. No warrants, derivatives, financial or business covenants are associated with the Agreement.
